RFK ASSASSIN "CAN'T REMEMBER" KILLING CANDIDATE

Sirhan Today
RFK
THE man who shocked the World when he gunned down RFK is expected to tell his latest parole board hearing that he "can't remember" the killing. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan changed the course of American history when he unloaded his pistol into the popular senator  moments after he'd claimed victory in the California presidential primary.
But now the man who once said he committed "with 20 years of malice aforethought," is expected to say again that he can't remember the crime.

His attorney William F. Pepper, the man who also represented Martin Luther
King's killer James Earl Ray said: "There is no doubt he does not remember the critical events.
"He is not feigning it. It's not an act. He does not remember it."
Sirhan Sirhan was originally sentenced to death but that was commuted to life in prison when the U.S. Supreme Court briefly outlawed the death penalty in 1972.
In an interview with AP he said  Sirhan been examined several times by psychologist Daniel Brown of Harvard University, an expert in hypnosis of trauma victims.
"There have been substantial breakthroughs," he told them.
As a result he believes: "that this guy did not kill Bob Kennedy," but would not elaborate on who he thought had.
Pepper also suggested that Sirhan was "hypno-programmed," turning him into a virtual "Manchurian Candidate," acting robot-like at the behest of evil forces who then wiped his memory clean. 
If released he would be the first political assassin to achieve parole in the US and one of the few high profile prisoners in California to win their freedom.
The board will look at his prison record - believed to be spotless - the length of time served and whether he shows remorse for the killing, before deciding his fate.
